When you start a padlet, the Modify menu will open immediately. From there you can:

  • Change the title and description
  • Change the layout (Grid = what you're looking at now, Stream = timeline-y, freeform = a collage)
  • Change the wallpaper (you can upload your own!)
  • Change the theme (premium users only!)
  • Add an icon (this is a way to show a little personality, whether it's a fun avatar, brand or school logo, or a profile image)
  • Turn Comments On/Off
  • Turn Author names for posts On/Off
  • Add Tags (easier to search for later)
  • Change the padlet's URL (easier for remembering & sharing)
